Local governments in the developing world are currently facing serious and urgent problems. Poverty, failings of infrastructure, and the lack of human and financial resources have impacted negatively on€local governments" capacity to perform their mandated functions. This volume€draws attention to the€prescriptions of public administration theory, and their differential impact on different contexts, in different parts of the world.€It challenges existing perspectives on local governance, that either overemphasize the€universality of solutions to local government problems, or segregate solutions, isolating them as relative or transitional -€often reaching no solution at all. The authors gathered here€argue that, whilst there is no one-size-fits-all solution, solutions for specific problems in local governance can undoubtedly be found

NGOs and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights : a curious grapevine / William Korey
http://www.palgraveconnect.com/doifinder/10.1057/9780230108165
New York : Palgrave, 2001
xi, 638 p.
When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted 50 years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt, its principal architect, predicted that a "curious grapevine" would carry its message behind barbed wire and stone walls. This book tells the extraordinary story of how NGOs became the "grapevine" she anticipated - sharpening our awareness about the violations of human rights, "shaming" its most notorious abusers and creating the international mechanisms to bring about implementation of the Declaration. Korey traces how NGO"s laid the groundwork for the destruction of the Soviet empire, as well as of the apartheid system in South Africa, and established the principle of accountability for crimes against humanity. The notion of human rights has progressed from being a marginal part of international relations a half century ago to stand today as a critical element in diplomatic discourse and this book shows that it is the NGOs that have placed human rights at the centre of humankind"s present and future agenda
